I think it's foolish to think that Bitcoin is forever because everything is changing. Because Bitcoin is doing so well right now, there may be a better coin to come in the cryptocurrency world. We can't think of anything forever, everything is temporary, and Bitcoin is something like that. But it's different because it's become an asset. I or you will be gone, but this Bitcoin will see its use continue for generations to come. If Bitcoin comes to such a good position at some other point after that, if Bitcoin can leave behind and move forward, then that is a different matter, but its use will continue in this way for the next few days.

For me I will say that instead of thinking much about what will become of Bitcoin in the future, while not take much it's present advantage buy accumulating Bitcoin as little as you can and hold, historically Bitcoin has shown a massive wide spread adoption and has also increase in it's value, the future is untold but I believed Bitcoin has a good foundation and will
exit forever as a financial freedom because it's decentralized nature.

Everything in the world is mortal.  Nothing lasts forever.  But Bitcoin can be said in this way that Bitcoin will continue from one generation to another.  Bitcoin is on demand in this technology dependent society.  While some countries around the world have banned Bitcoin, many countries have accepted Bitcoin.  A few more virtual currencies like Bitcoin have emerged.  But others like Bitcoin have not gained as much acceptance.  If a stronger currency comes out of BTC that people will benefit from more than Bitcoin then maybe it will compete. But there is no telling if this is possible.  Because no country or organization has been able to take ownership of it till date.

Despite the government has banned cryptocurrencies in several countries, it is hard to remove their existence. Did you believe that only today's youth benefited from Bitcoin investment? If that is the case, you must be wrong, because some governments in many countries gain from Bitcoin, which is why they cannot decide to ban it in every country.

However, it is not bad that you asked if Bitcoin will last forever. I believe that would be a simple question to answer on your own. Are you going to live forever? No!! No human can live forever, we shall all die one day, I don't think anyone in this generation will see the end of Bitcoin. Bitcoin has been created so that humans can use and benefit from it, this generation will leave Bitcoin existing, but I believe that one day it will no longer exist. Other cryptocurrencies are doing well in the market, but I'm confident that no other coin can challenge Bitcoin. Bitcoin is now ruling the world and is going to continue to do so in the future.

I have doubts that the Bitcoin will continue to exit as long as the demand is still available. Noting can stop the Bitcoin from lasting forever, even when some of the governments in various countries are plan to ban Bitcoin so that it will not exit again. The Bitcoin can only disappear when the demands are known more again, but currently, with the way so many people's are enjoying Bitcoin transactions now, in my own view, even the banks are not functioning in terms of running fast transactions. 

Listen, everything changes. Thats life as well as Bitcoin. Still, Bitcoin is the winner. Its here to stay, at least for a while. Not only for young people but for everyone. Governments are not fools; they see the worth. They want a piece of this pie, and who can blame them? Bitcoin represents invention; it is the future. Will it therefore be around always? Who knows? Nothing is forever. Still, Bitcoin is based on strong ground. Its decentralized, its not tied to any one government or bank. And that technology based on blockchain? That transforms everything. Its about changing the entire planet's functioning, not only about money.

Life is about impermanence. Things come, things go. Bitcoin might not be here forever, but its here now, and its made a difference. Embrace the change, embrace the moment, folks. Invest in it, know about it, apply it. Thats how we make the most of this amazing technology.

Due to decentralized nature of Bitcoin, the government cannot completely stop Bitcoin but it will greatly affect its users by simply banning the Bitcoin transaction and apprehending users.  This will instill fears to people and make them avoid participating in Bitcoin economy.  Government banning can hinder to stop the adoption of Bitcoin in their country, especially those huge institutions.


Trading itself is a real-life utility same goes for investment and the line "they yield more profit than Bitcoin" is good enough reason for many traders to hop into altcoins.  The only factor that keeping Bitcoin investors are security and the strong liquidity of the Bitcoin market.


On the other hand, the Bitcoin market can be easily influenced if not manipulated by those who have a strong presence in the economic sector.  Both altcoin and Bitcoin can be manipulated it is that for Bitcoin market to move manipulators needs a much bigger amount of fund.


There are already people who have lost interest in Bitcoin and focused on altcoins, it is that the people who lose interest in Bitcoin are greatly outnumbered by people who get interested and comeback to Bitcoin.


Bitcoin will continue to develop, the developer won't let the progress of Bitcoin stagnate aside from the developer those who have huge holdings will continue to protect and support the Bitcoin network since they have to protect their wealth and continue to grow it through Bitcoin development and market proliferation.

You cannot ban bitcoin. Many countries tried that, China being a great example.
Competition is great, but bitcoin has the advantage that can't be ignored.
It's that runner that started running when you were in the changing room. You won't be able to catch up unless he trips and breaks a leg.

That can't be done unless someone spends billions of dollars to do it. It won't happen because someone would need to have a lot of money and be crazy enough to burn all of it.
Attacking bitcoin is not worth the resources needed.

 I sometimes wonder why people did not lose confidence in the FED yet, or the banking system... Why would they lose confidence in bitcoin if they still believe in institutions that steal from them?

But as a currency it will stay long but will come and go but bitcoin bitcoin will still be existing. Therefore bitcoin will stay long but we have to know that nothing exists forever. As human we have used different kinds of things for exchanging goods and services even before currency was introduced.
And now digital currency is trying to take over the physical and fiat currency and it this really happened then bitcoin will last long but from centuries to come it will also end and another way of exchange will take place but for the transaction fee issue, I don't think bitcoin will take over fiat.
